COURSE NO: C05-017
PDH CREDIT: 5
COURSE PROVIDER: Gregory Taylor, P.E.
MUTCD: Roadway Traffic Signs
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course discusses how to effectively use signs to guide roadway traffic, and thereby reduce your liability exposure. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD) 2009 Edition will serve as a course reference for the fundamental design principles of traffic signs. It is recognized as the national standard for all traffic control devices installed on any street, highway, bikeway, or private road open to public travel. Any traffic control device design or application contained within it is considered to be in the public domain and available for use.

 

Nationwide consistency is the goal of the MUTCD by requiring uniform, understandable, and effective devices. This course is intended to serve as guidance and not as an absolute standard or rule. Should there be any discrepancies between the contents of this course and the MUTCD, always follow the MUTCD.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to traffic or transportation engineers interested in learning how to use the MUTCD Part 2 more effectively for establishing roadway traffic signs. The overall objective is to give engineers and designers an in-depth look at the principles to be considered when selecting signs and designing for traffic control.
